This beautiful Victorian oil painting titled "Roadside Inn in Hampshire" is attributed to the renowned British artist Henry Charles Woollett (c.1826-1893), and depicts a picturesque scene of the daily bustle of a roadside inn in Hampshire County. The detailed rendering of architectural details, people, horses, and domestic fowl perfectly conveys the atmosphere of travel and the associated new encounters and impressions. Based on certain features, this is an artist's study: pencil underpainting is visible, there is no signature present, however the title and artist's name are written in pencil on the stretcher. This charming antique artwork would make a perfect addition to any art collection and will beautifully enhance any interior by bringing the appeal of Victorian English countryside living.
